Ask Can clients on freelance platforms see your real location or just the country you listed?

[Edward22]

Location settings on freelance platforms can be a bit confusing, especially since different platforms handle this in different ways. Most of them only show the country or region a freelancer listed during sign-up, not a precise address. But some platforms display timezone data or city-level information depending on profile settings. It makes you wonder how much location detail is actually visible to clients without the freelancer knowing. What has been your experience with how your location shows up to clients?
